Abstract excerpt
While brain injury elicits local cellular proliferation, it is not known whether cells not originating in brain substantially participate in the response. We assessed the time course and phenotype of dividing cells following neuronal damage initiated by microinjection of the neurotoxin ibotenic acid into one caudate nucleus (CN) in adult rat. Proliferation was determined in an in vitro assay measuring...
